I got mine (I will have to check the thread on LTX) for 13 bucks shipped. Went with flat black, but they come in all colors, and lengths for vets and dif lengths for f-bodies.

ha! its funny seeing this thread after this https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearanc...ipes-dead.html started a couple days ago.

you can get them here: http://www.afterthoughtsauto.com/fenstripdecc.html

or here: http://www.bfranker.badz28.com/vinyl/vinyl.htm

theres probbaly quite a few nice looking sets on ebay. personally i dont care for either of the stripes sold in the links i posted. they're too thin. when i was looking into this, i was going to get some made for corvettes since they looked a bit better to me. but i never wanted them enough to get them.

I paid $30 installed, he just made them longer and them put them on and trimmed them. They would cost you the same as afterthoughts shipped. He does vinyl for a living. He actually does full wraps for cars, buses and airplanes.

If you were local he came make you whatever you wanted. Here is his car, the black on it is vinyl, cant even tell. It has a supercharger on it, 460 rwhp, runs mid 11's with no traction. I guess if anyone comes in this post that is local and wants something made, let me know and I can get you in touch.

I have a flat black hood and front nose section that incorporates the head light buckets so i went with flat. My Berger is also flat.
